hi, im amanda.

im 23 years old, at the doctors today i weighed 286.

i have a 2 1/2 year old son. he's the main reason im doing this. i want to be able to play with him without tiring within the first 5 minutes.. i also want to live to watch him grow up. i can also feel my health deteriorating, i have trouble breathing, not sleeping well, have GERD, and constant back pain.

ive been doing the research the past few months, called my insurance company ( i have horizon nj health, with medicaid)..they gave me a list of doctors, i researched them. and now my first consultation is feb 25th. with dr samuel wasser in willingboro, nj

has anyone else dealt with nj medicaid/horizon? do they have any requirments to get the surgery okayed?

Hi Amanda. Your post has been up a while but I hope you read and reply to this. What ever happened as far as your insurance? Did you have the surgery? How hard was it? I am also in South Jersey with the same insurance. Thanks,

Verna
